Tune: Mannheim
(\'Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us\')
*******
Lead us Lord, through every season
Through all life\'s rhyme and reason
See our hearts, our state, our being
Your graces still to us bring
Weak and weary, lost without you
But in you we made anew
Heal our land where arid and parched
And where troubles overarched
Pour the dew, rain of your blessing
Satiate thirst of each thing
Yet too sun for light, warmth, and heat
We worship here at your feet
Green grass dries, green, colour of grace
Look still on us, Lord, your face
Turn not from us, come to our aid
You our ransom price have paid
Giving grace to persevere on
For before us you have gone
Trod this earth, human life sharing
The divine too did you bring
Not aloof, distant, uncaring
But understanding each thing
Guide us, by your Spirit showing
More of Christ, our Lord and King
Where we dry, dusty, enliven
With your presence us e\'en then
Cool balm, healing, sensitively
You to each Comforter be
So on through each night and day we
Share your love, life constantly
